Abstract

[I would like to begin with a description of the historical context of the Karen communities in the section “Context and Challenges of Modernization.” I will describe the ensuing challenges of modernization and the rise of the nation-state. Attention will be paid to the impact of modernization and the nation-state on the Karen communities in Northern Thailand. The section “The Karen of Dokdaeng in a Situated and Contested Space” offers a glimpse of the contestations at work in the village-space from a context-specific perspective of the village of Dokdaeng. This section will deal with the grassroots agency that constantly negotiates the rapid social changes within the Karen communities.]
